Rare 1981 Toyota Trekker 4 Wheel Drive 5 Speed R22 Straight Axles New Fenders on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
|
This rare Toyota Trekker is one of 1500 built as collaboration between Winnebago and Toyota (I listed it under 4 Runner since eBay didn’t have a Trekker category and 1980 because eBay won’t take my VIN as a 1981). It was the forerunner to the Toyota 4Runner. From the cab back is all fiberglass, thus no rust. There is seating for two in the back. I am the second owner of this vehicle. I bought it in 1984 with 16,961 miles on it. It now has 209,826 miles. I have babied it for the 30 years I have had it. I have always taken the approach that I would keep it forever when having work done on it. Besides oil changes, I made a rule to have it worked on at dealers when possible. I have always used OME parts when they were available, including Toyota oil and air filters (and the new front fenders, which are now unavailable). In 30 years it has only failed to start twice. For a 33 year vehicle with 200k miles it is in amazing shape. It has many upgrades including a new radio (Retro Sound), driver’s seat (Recaro), back seat (Baja), new upholstery and headliner. I had the exhaust piping and muffler system replaced two summers ago. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 at 183,171 miles. The front seats have retractable shoulder and lap belts. The back seat has lap belts and headrests for two small people. It has good tires with plenty of tread left on them. BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A 30x9.50 R15LT. It has Smitty Built bumpers and rocker bars. It has a 2” receiver hitch and 7 pin plug socket for towing. It’s not much of a tow vehicle and I’ve only really used the hitch for a bike rack! It has a roof rack that comes with it. In 2010 I had a cheap paint job which is not holding up very well. I did put new OME front fenders on at that time so there is very little rust on the vehicle. It has lived out west so it hasn’t seen any salt but has endured so amazing winters. I have most of the original paperwork, owner’s manual, repair manual and some old flyers for the Trekker. This has been my only vehicle for the past 30 years! I know it inside and out and have taken very good care of it. I’ve never done serious 4 wheeling with it, only dirt roads and Montana winters. It’s been all over the US so a lot of the miles are highway. It is not perfect but it’s one of the nicer Trekkers still on the road. It is now in Bozeman Montana inside a storage facility but it has not been garaged its whole life. I highly recommend coming to Bozeman to pick it up and do some fishing or camping along the way. Summer will be here in a month or two! I am the second owner of this vehicle and bought it in 1984 from the dealer in Townsend Montana. I would prefer a cash deal but am open to other possibilities. It is certainly drivable but I would trailer it because of the front axle seals. Remember it is in Bozeman Montana. I used it as my daily driver until November 2013 when I garaged it. I thought I would do a show quality restoration and then my children turned into teenagers! I want them driving something with airbags! Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions. |

Scion's would-be savior C-HR spied before its Toyota rebadging
Wed, Feb 3 2016Scion is dead, but one of its future products, the C-HR concept, is still in development for launch as a Toyota. Toyota does a thorough job of hiding the C-HR's rakish shape on these test cars, but we can spot the concept's design cues. For example, the pointed nose and narrow headlights are present, and the giant box on the roof can't hide the downward arch for the coupe-like rear. The back doors on these examples look larger than before, which suggests a switch to a traditional five-door body rather than the hidden rear openings on the concept. The change would offer easier access to the backseat and make the C-HR a better competitor in the segment against vehicles like the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade. The C-HR debuted as a boldly styled three-door crossover at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Toyota later restyled the CUV with a more angular shape and extra doors. We most recently saw the compact crossover with Scion branding at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Rumors suggest the production model's debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and it could arrive at dealers in the latter half of 2016. The powertrain lineup likely consists of a four-cylinder engine with a CVT and possibly a hybrid version, too. You'll also get to see the C-HR on the track because Toyota will race the crossover in the 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours. Related Video:
Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris
Thu, 04 Jul 2013Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.
Lost power in a winter storm? Just hook up a Toyota Prius like this guy did
Thu, Jan 9 2014The Toyota Prius' battery pack just got something like a five-star rating from a truly seasoned professional – a 50-year aircraft technician. Bob Osemlak, who'd served more than three of those five decades with the Canadian Air Force, brought electricity back to his home in December during a heavy ice storm thanks to his gas-electric car. His ingenuity allowed him to turn on lights, furnace, refrigerator and the TV. The Thornhill, Ontario resident lost power for nearly a day on December 21 – not nearly as much as millions of other people hit by the recent storm - and so he still set about using his Prius for backup power, according to EV World. His ingenuity allowed him to turn on lights, furnace, refrigerator and the TV. Being an aircraft technician for so long brought Osemlak the ability to home-brew his V2H set-up that he urges other people to avoid, for safety reasons. He had planned for a potential power outage by installing an outlet on his furnace and, when the storm struck, he ran a cord through the basement window to the car. During the nine hours Osemlak used his Prius for backup power, the car's fuel gauge only reduced less than one bar, or roughly the equivalent of a gallon of gasoline. It wasn't the first time Osemlak had played with his vehicle. In the 1960s, while stationed in Winnepeg, Manitoba, he created a car starter. Every hour, the car would start up and run for 10 minutes to avoid being frozen solid in frigid winter temperatures.
